Hello dear,

Creatinine is a marker of Renal functions.
Normal range varies from 0.5 mg/dl to 1.2 mg/dl
In that case, a value of 2.3 mg/dl can be considered high, which is indicative of underlying damage to the renal tubules.
Based on the above mentioned fact, the doctor has advised a Nephrologist opinion.
So, that the underlying damage can be detected at the earliest & further progression can be prevented.

Take care.
